| Love Autumnal |
| | | Oliver Jenkins |
| |
| |
| MY love will come in autumn-time | |
| When leaves go spinning to the ground | |
| And wistful stars in heaven chime | |
| With the leaves’ sound. | |
| |
| Then, we shall walk through dusty lanes | 5 |
| And pause beneath low-hanging boughs, | |
| And there, while soft-hued beauty reigns | |
| We’ll make our vows. | |
| |
| Let others seek in spring for sighs | |
| When love flames forth from every seed; | 10 |
| But love that blooms when nature dies | |
| Is love indeed! | |
